The Palmyra-Macedon girls swim team made school history Thursday evening by winning its first league title with an 88-82 victory over the North Rose-Wolcott Cougars.

The Red Raiders proved perfect in the Finger Lakes League, finishing the season with a 6-0 record, 9-2 overall.

Celebrating Senior Night, the Pal-Mac quartet of Danielle Alexander, Savannah Cole, Cassidy Lawrence and Erin Hutchinson made waves starting out with a 2:13.14 win in the 200 Medley Relay.

But it wasn’t just seniors making a splash. Sophomore Jessica Lioudis became a double winner for the first time in her career, winning the 200 Individual Medley and the 100 Free.

“This is the best overall record that [assistant coach Becky DeSol] and I have ever had,” said Pal-Mac coach Chris Oaks, who is in his fourth year at the helm. “It’s great, there’s no words that can express how it feels to win a league title. These girls have worked very hard and we are very proud of them. We are so lucky at Pal-Mac to have wonderful parents and wonderful, wonderful fans. They come out and cheer for us and the pool becomes a rocking place.”

“This group of girls has been here, some of them for four years,” DeSol said. “They have developed quite the sister bond with each other. No matter what happens, they help each other and pick each other up. They have worked so hard together. They are like this other extended group of daughters that we don’t have, but we have here. It’s been such an emotional ride, because we’ve seen them come from freshman and they have come so far. To see everyone improve is so rewarding to a coach.”

“Tonight meant a lot, we all worked very hard for this,” said Pal-Mac senior Cassidy Lawrence. “We (seniors) all started with our coaches in our freshman year and they brought us up to the league title. We are all really excited and are going to work hard in the next weeks to do really great at sectionals.”

“I just wanted to swim my hardest, because we have been swimming so hard to get the league title and if you would have asked us this at the beginning of the year we wouldn’t of even thought we had a chance,” junior Alexandra Waasdorp said. “Now this is just like the final moment.”

“Winning league title is just icing on the cake,” added Pal-Mac junior Tessa Viscosi.

Also winning for Pal-Mac was Dana Wilsey in the 200 Freestyle with the time of 2:15.24, along with Kaitlin Rosato scoring a win in diving. North Rose-Wolcott was led by Helen Palmer, who scored her first varsity win in the 100 Breaststroke, and Erin Straight picked up the win in the 500 Freestyle.
